Layla, the Director

In the evening, Layla got ready in the dress that Lucius had gifted her. She ran her fingers through the gold necklace with red emeralds embedded on it. This was the first time she looked so beautiful on her birthday.

"Madam, you look so beautiful today. Master won't be able to take his eyes off you," said the maid, who helped her in making her hair.

A small blush crept on Layla's cheeks to hear that. She felt the palpitations of her heart, the feeling was giving her butterflies already.

"Thank you," Layla told the maid before standing up. Holding the clutch, she walked out of the room. As she descended the stairs, her eyes fell upon Lucius, who was in a black tuxedo suit with his back toward her.
